AGPS & emergency calls
When you make an emergency call, your
phone can use Assisted Global Positioning
System (AGPS) satellite signals to tell the emergency
response center your approximate location.
The AGPS feature has limitations, so always tell the
emergency response center your best knowledge of
your location. Remain on the phone for as long as the
emergency response center instructs you.
AGPS
might not work
for emergency calls if your
local emergency response center does not process
AGPS location information. For details, contact your
local authorities.
AGPS performance tips
For best results:
•
Go outside and away from underground
locations, covered vehicles, structures with
metal or concrete roofs, tall buildings, and
foliage. Indoor performance might improve if
you move closer to windows, but some
window sun shielding films can block satellite
signals.
•
Move away from radios, entertainment
equipment, and other electronic devices that
might interfere with or block AGPS satellite
signals.
If your phone cannot find strong AGPS satellite
signals, the location of the nearest cell tower in
contact with your phone is automatically provided to
the emergency response center.
Your phone can also use your location to help with
other programs (such as programs that provide
directions).
